With the addon “Lightfall”, there have been many changes for Destiny 2. Among them is a change in difficulty. However, the lowest difficulty level is said to overwhelm many already. Some believe: “The new difficulty level ruins the gaming experience.”
With the increase in difficulty, Bungie wanted to address various issues. The Guardians should not be bored, and they also wanted to mitigate the so-called “Power Creep”. After all, items become stronger with each addon, and content eventually becomes too easy.
But some believe that Bungie’s intentions may have been too ambitious. The enemies do not feel too strong, but many Guardians simply feel too weak. PvE content is said to be frustrating many players to the point that they leave the game in anger, abandoning their teammates.
Broken balancing and too weak rewards
What are the Guardians upset about? Some gamers explain on reddit that the balancing simply does not work right now. Especially the average player, who might want to casually play for a few hours after work, is then overwhelmed:
It is about the PvE balance in general right now. Some weapons feel terrible in the sandbox when it comes to activities above patrol difficulty. Many legendary primary weapons are gathering dust out here, while things like Osteo Striga plow through whole spawns of enemies, and quite mindlessly.
I definitely agree, though: The difficulty at the lower end definitely needs to be revised.
The enemies may be defeatible, but it’s not enjoyable anymore.
Another problem arises, and that is the rewards. Whether you play the dungeon on easy or on hardcore, the rewards are always the same. Many wonder: Why should I put in so much effort when the rewards are always weak:
Is this the spectrum of difficulty? Easy to ridiculously hard – and yet both offer exactly the same rewards?
Others go even further and explain that the balancing simply cannot be right. Officially easy missions are way too hard, and hard missions are far too easy.
Ultimately, we want to play and not suffer.
Bungie urgently needs to make adjustments because this is simply wrong: “The easy stuff is hard and the hard stuff is easy, that’s totally wrong” (via reddit.com).
What do you think? Is the difficulty too high or do you find the changes with “Lightfall” just right? Let us know in the comments and discuss with other gamers about it.
